The implement in the compact form shown is comprised of a base plate 50, the ends 51 of which are extended and formed with openings .to receive screws 'or like secaring means whereby the implement may be fastened upon any article it is desired to protect. Rising from the base are end plates, respectively 52 and 53, and arranged parallel with the latter "is a partition plate 54,

forming a compartment 55, all of the several' plates bein rigidly secured to the rear side plate 56, which has at the lower portion of the compartment 55 a curved enlargement 60, a similar enlargement 61 beingformed in the rigid front glate 62, which covers the compartment 55. he main compartment is provided with a cover 63, secured by the hinges 64, at its lower edge to the base 50.

the cover being provided'with an actuating closely adjacent to which is a rotatable disk knob 65, for manipulation.

The rear plate 56 andthe plate 75' extending upwardly from the horizontal par- 7 tition see- Fig. 17) have, at their upper edges, horizontally extending edges 68, while over the lesser compartment 55, are disposed parallel plates 69 .and 70, having between them av recess 72, which coiiperates with the edges 68, in securing a sliding cover 73;. having slide grooves formed in the outturned flanged edges 74, and which will be more fully described later on.

Parallel with the cover plate 73, is a fixed horizontal plate 75, the same extending from en'd'to end in the main compartment, which has at both the lower corners and upper left hand corner interior lugs 77. suited to receive screws 78, by means of which a removable plate 80, is secured in position. At-

tached to the plate 80, is abell 81, rotatable upon the stem 82, actuated by a. clock work mechanism, consisting of a spring 84, attached at its inner end to a spindle 85, having a square extending head 86. Av folding loop handle 87, is attached in such mannerthat when extended it can be used forwinding the spring. the outer convolution of which is engaged with a gear 88, driving a gear train terminating in the spindle 89,

upon which is secured a star wheel .90, adaptedto operate the escapement anchor 91, piv- -0ted at 92, andhaving an, operative arm 93,

gage stop 131-formed with a pivoted detent 132.

per right hand portion of the casing is a spindle 100, movable in a boss formed in the end plate 53, the spindle extending outward to the right, and having an operating head 101; a notched disk 102 is secured on the spindle and has on it a plurality of characters 103, while engageable with the notches] in the disk are projections 104, formed with a rigid extension 105, of the end plate 53.

' A portion of the spindle is rotatably engaged within a sleeve 108, having a key 109, the sleeve being slidably engaged within a split bushing 110, rigidly set in the partition 54, having a keyway 111, the bushing being formed with a spring finger 112, adapted to resiliently press against the periphery of the sleeve acting as a brake thereupon. The inner end of the spindle 100, has secured to it a head 114 by means of a pin,

115, held in position by the nut 116, through which passes a securing pin 117. The edge of the disk 115, is preferably curved and i completely circular except for a recess 118, the purpose of which will be further on explained.

On the inner face of the disk 115. are a plurality of indentations 120, corresponding in number and location with the characters 121, impressed upon the periphery of the head 114 and which also agree 1n number with the characters 103 on the slotted disk 102. I

In order to hold the disk 115. adjusted relatively to the head114. a plunger 122. is set in a bored opening formed through the head and impelled by the pressure spring 123, the spring permitting the disk to be turned in resetting the combination.

It is readily possible to adjust the. disk 115, relatively to the characters placed upon the head and notched disk 102, in the follow- I ing manner, the plate 80, carrying the bell and its operative. mechanism, is provided with an opening 130. registerable with the characters displayed on the head, when the same is in its innermost position. and enable within the slot or recess 130. is a secured to the plate 80. and held in either of its adjustable positions by means oftheflat spring 133, so that the setting of the disk 115, may be attained in a convenient manner.

Secured to the sleeve 108, at its outermost end is a collar 135, separated by a space 136, from a revoluble sleeve 138, with which is formed a toothed se ent 140, carrying a pin 141, which extenfs inwardly through an arcuate slot formed in the partition 54, and engages in the open 100 142, of a flat vertical spring 143, secure at its lower end to the plate 54, immediately above the corner block 77, the arrangement of the spring being such that the, segment is kept normally in a central vertical position.

The teeth of this segment are engageable with those of the segment 146, formed on the arcuate upper end of a pendulum lever 147, pivoted on the pin 148, pivotally mounted in the outer late 53, and partition plate 54, while attac led to the rod 147 is a weight 150, adapted to swing in the enlar ement in the lower right hand portion of t e casing. It will be understoodthat as the upper segment 140, is movable longitudinally with respect to the lower actuating segment 146, that the two segments may be engaged in different relation.

Formed with the sleeve 138 is a lug 151, opposite to the center of the segment 140, and having anarm 152 bent inwardly parallel with the spindle 100. In order to prevent engagement of the segments at an undesirable moment and also to prevent over withdrawal of the spindle 100, a slide block 155, is operatively engaged with a pair of rods 156, which move vertically through a guide 157, rigidly secured to the rods by means of the screws 158, and actuated by the screw 160, having a neck 161, enga able in an opening formed through the plates 69 and 70, above which is a flange 162, and an extending knurled operating knob 163. By rotating the knob the block 155 ma be raised or lowered as desired. The ro s 156 when in a raised position engage 'in suitable openings formed in the cover plate 73 thereby preventing it from being opened. I

Secured to the front of thecover plate 73, is a bell shaped extension 165, engaged by the sleeve 166, which encircles a metallic chamber 168, having a screw threaded portion 169, engaged in the upper corner lug 77, and which is. adapted to contain a cartridge 170, held in an engaged position by a protective plate 171, ivoted on the screw 172. and provided with an extend ng lug 173 by means of which it may be raised, exposing the cartridge, which is detonated through the opening 174, as follows A transverse partition 175, extends transversely across the space at the upper portion of the casing and isformedwlth an opening in which is rotatably and slidably received, the round plunger bar 178, formed against it so as to or shaking loose in an adjusted position.

at its outer end with arecessed head 179, and carrying a front projection 180, adapted to make contact with and detonatethe cartridge.

Encircling the plunger 178 is a coiled pressure spring 181, the same extending between the head 179, and the plate 175, and adapted to urge the plunger forward when it is released; also engaged with the head 179, is a downturned projection 182, the same extending through a slot formed in the horizontal partition 75, and engageable with a lever 183, which operates the escapement anchor 91, thereby permitting the alarm bell to be operated.

Secured at the opposite end of the plunger 17 8, is a plug 185, having an encircling band 186, engaged by a screw 187, the point of which operates within a slot 188, formed in the plug 185,- and which limits the rotary motion of the sleeve when motion is communicated by the extending stem 189, provided with a square corrugated knob 190.

The screw 187, also secures a spring detent 192, adapted to make contact in an arcuate recess formed in the outer flange 184, of the plug 185, the same pressing tensionally prevent it from jarring A squared extension 194, is formed with the plug 185, adapted to pass through an opening in the upper part of the partition p ate 54, and between the sides of the channel shaped extension 194, is a detent 195, pivoted on the pin 196, pressed normally outward by the flat spring 197, the inner end of which is rigidly engaged within the plug 185.

Secured to the perforated rear casing plate 56, is a fixed block 200, having a threaded stem 201, upon which is slidably engaged a rectangular bar 202, held by the nut 203', the bar terminating in its forward end in a round stem 204, passing through the corner block 205, secured'to the partition 54, the bar, 202, having a lug 206, in

which is pivoted a dog 207, pressed normally contact with the arm 152.

Engaged upon a yertical pivot 220, mounted in the upper right hand part of the casing, adjacent to the partition plate 54', is a dog 221, held normally against the partition by means of a flat pressure spring 222, the end of the dog being adapted to enter a recess inthe bar 194, and make contact with the detent 195, when the plunger 178 is drawn to oppose the spring 181, and in order to hold the plunger in its rearward position a plate 224, formed with the dog 221, ex-

' plate 224, a projection 225, the same being a ing throu ver 210.

p out actuating gitudinally contactable with the end of the plate 215, which is also arranged toengagewith the arm 152 when in an operative position.

Formed with the sleeve 186, is a lug 230, adapted to extend through a slot formed lonthe plate 75, which is provided with recesses at its, ends, the same limiting the movement of the sleeve, the lug extendh theslot and being normally in contact with the upper surface of the le- In operation, the parts bein in the position shown in Fig. 20, and it eing desired to reset the devices, the bell actuatingthe mechanism is wound, the outer hinged cover 63, being dropped and the cover plate 73 removed, the post 190, extending upward from the sleeve 186, turned up and pushed toward the right, so far as it will go, this action compresses the spring 181, and the dog 221, engaging with the detent 195, holds the plunger 178.

The plate-171 is raised, a cartridge inserted in the chamber 168 and the cover plate replaced, the post is then turned horizontally, and the cover plate 73 applied, and locked by actuating the knob 163.

The release of the plunger 178, is attained in two different ways, one by the actuation of the knob 101, and the-other by the movement of the weight 150.- As has been described, the characters 103 and 121 are in correspondence at all times, the disk 115, however, is rotatable upon the spindle 100, it being efiected by swinging the detent132 into the position shown in Fig. 22, then upon rotating the knob 101, the slot 118 may be set toagree with any desired character, thus permitting the operation ofthe device withthe alarm by one familiair with the combination, which cannot befseen from the exterior.

' The knob 163 is turned so as to move the a block 155, up and release the spindle 100,

gage,

which may now be withdrawn. The disk 102 is rotated until one of its projections, indicated' by a predetermined character, enters between theprojections 104.

The detent 132 is then swung into a reverse position so as to allow thedisk 115, to move. past and permit the segments to enwhereupon, if thecasing be moved or tipped, sidewise,,the pendant weight 150 acting through t -,,segments moves the arm 152 out from. under plate 215 and allows late 215 to drop downwardly out of the path of the lug 225 on. the plate 224 thereby permittingfplate 224 to turn upon the pivot 220, releasing the detent 195, whereupon the lunger 178 will be pushed forward vioiently, striking the cartridge and freeing the bell mechanism so it IS caused to operate.

adjust The noise, made by the cartridge is enhanced by the bell shaped cover 165, while the bell will ringuntll the spring mechanism has run down.

If one unfamiliar with the combination attempts to manipulate theknob 101 soas to the alarm mechanism to inoperative condition without setting the spindle 100 and the contro ling mechanism associated therewith in such a position that the notch 118 is opposite the lug 207 any inward motion will bring with the lug 207 pressing back the bar 202 which carrieswith it the plate 215 thereby moving said plate out of the path of lug 225 on the plate 224; The plate 224 is then free to swing and the dog 221' swings about and releases the detent 195 and the alarm mechanism goes oil.

If, however, the slot 118, in the disk 115, be in position as to clear the detent 207, the knob 101 may be pressed inwardly without afi'ecting'the setting of the apparatus.

It will be apparent from the foregoing that the alarm mechanism which is inclosed in the case provided with a door and a cover which retains the door imposition comprises alarm giving means and setting off means. The alarm giving means includes the two alarm devices namely, the bell with its spring and ringing mechanism and the hammer for detonating a cartridge together with its actuating spring. The setting ofimeans includes restraining means having a releasingtrigger and releasing means including the balance, together with a controlling means for the setting off means which. in cludes primarily the shaft 100 which is adjustable longitudinally in the embodiment of my invention. illustrated to render the setting ofi means operative and inoperative,

and which is susceptible of a plurality of will not be set off, but the setting ofl:' means is put into an inoperative condition. Anyone who knows what letter the notch 118 is opposite can place that letter between the lugs 104 in the block 105 and change the adjustment ofthe shaft 100 withoutsetting off the alarm mechanism. 4

It is also to be recalled that when the segment 140 is pushed out of engagement with the segment 146 without sliding forward the bar 202 by acting upon the dog 207 with the disk 115, the plate 215 which with the lug 1'51 constitutes the trigger means is posi tioned between the upstanding ears (see Fig. 11) on the lug 151 and the tri ger is thereby locked because any rotation 05 the sleeve 138 carr ing the lug 151 would necessitate the hen in or breaking of these upstanding ears. he restraining mechanism primarily includes the detent 195 which is acted upon by the dog 221 to hold the plunger 178 a a-inst the action of the spring 181, the p ate 224 to which the dog 221 is connected, the lug 225 on the late 224 and the plate 215 which holds the p ate 224 against swinging by contact with the lug 225 (see Figs. 11, 12, 14 and 15). The restraining mechanism also includesthe lug 151' and the-extension 152 thereof which extension is positioned underneath the plate 215 to prevent it from bein forced downward out of engagement witfi the lug 225 b the spring 208. (See Figs. 35, 38, 39 an 40.) It mi ht also be said that the sleeve 138 and the sfiaft 100 are part of the restraining mechanism because they support the lug 151v and its extension 152, but these parts also constitute'part of the controlling means because they may be adjusted to render the releasin means operative and they maybe set so t at an attempted adjustment of the releasing or setting of! means to inoperative position will cause the alarm mechanism to go off.

It should also be recalled that the plate 215 which constitutes part of the trigger mechanism of the restraining mechanism may be moved in two directions to cause the alarm to go off. First it may be moved downward by operating the'balance means to swing the extension 152 out from under the plate 215 or the plate 215' may be moved forward so that it drops off the edge of the extension-152 by contact'of the disk 115 with the dog 207. A block 155 prevents adjusting the controlling .means'so as to render the setting off means operative until the parts 156 are drawn up to a position to lock the cover which holds the door closed and after the setting off means has been adjusted to operative condition the collar 135 prevents movement of the parts 156 downward to unlock the cover and thereby prevents. tampering with the alarm mechanism to render It inoperative unless someone who knows the combination opens the door. The lugs 104 coiiperating with teeth of-the disk 102 prevent rotation of the disk 115 while it is in contact with the lug 207 and thus prevent a feeling-out of the combination, or of the setting of the controlling means to find out when the slot. is in front of the dog 207. The pressure of the spring 112 upon the shaft which requires that considerable force be imparted to it to move it also assists in preventing the feeling-out of the combination. The lugs 104 also prevent rotation of the control shaft 100 while the dog 207 is in the slot 118, and prevent breaking of the dog or change of the combination to an unknown one. The bevel edge 216 of the plate 215 is adapted to coiiperate with thebevel end of the extension 152 so that after the alarm mechanism has been set off by pushing forward the dog 207 to permit the plate 215 to drop down in front of the extension, the plate 215 will not block the inward motion of the controlling shaft 100 so that it will be possible to move the collar 135 to a position out from under the block 155 so as to permit the opening of the casin It is to be noted that the collar 138 carrying the segment 140 is mounted upon-the sleeve 108 which is held against rotation by a key 109,

adjusted to operative condition, or when the hammer is brought back to operative position.
